This week we are sending our cards to a young lady that has had a few bumps in the roads of her life. Alix, is the daughter of Elizabeth aka I Love Rubber and we're showing her that there's a lot of people out in this world that care.
Silverman, Pinkstone, and Black
Attorneys at Law, We've Got Your Back!
If you've just suffered a heart attack,
file with us, we'll cut you some slack.
We're sympathetic to a fault,
we'll get into the pharmacist's vault.
You've taken a fall down the stairs,
file a claim, we'll pay for repairs.
Three attorneys at law that's who we are,
come into our office, we've passed the bar.
Seems I'm in the mood for Paper embroidery lately. It's even easier when the holes are already punched for you, as on this Spellbinders die cut. The pink part took about a half hour to complete, so easy. No really, once you get the first two stitches in, you just follow where you've been.
The silver circle is spirellied. There's lots of silver, pink and black on this card. I couldn't fit the dog in the design, so Snoopy went on the envie. Snoopy is the only dog stamp I have. He's the coolest! Snoopy is doing the "happy dance". He's happy that he's the man in Alix's life!
I hope that Alex likes this, it's feminine and and unique, just like her.

Feminine and Unique! Perfect description but I will add a couple of things about you.....you are so talented with that technique of circle sewing....snort! Wowza...the fact that you can do this amazes me! If I attempted this, it would look like a spool of thread that fell off a truck and maybe even got run over! Ha! This just rocks and Alix is gonna feel that same way!
Hey, maybe Alix can represent the owner of the truck that the thread fell off! It was silver plated, very expensive thread and anything that can be re-cooped will be much appreciated! Ha! Love, love, love it!

The internet does not do that image justice, at first I thought you had used a Spirograph, but then I realized all the stitching that you had done. Beautifully executed!

Your paper embroidery is always so impressive and this card is no exception. I would still be threading my needle going on a half an hour lol! Snoopy on the envelope adds such a fun element to your beautiful card.

That's incredible looking - I'm sure Alix will be amazed at the beautiful detailing in this. I did wonder about using Snoopy , but wasn't sure he was quite what you'd call fluffy, LOL. But I'm always happy to see him at the party, so I'm glad you've brought him along.
